Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a weatherstrip system and, more particularly, to a weatherstrip system that, when positioned on a vehicle, provides the vehicle windows with a peripheral flush appearance with the vehicle body.
  • the present invention provides the art with a weather-strip sealing system for moveable vehicle window panels which enable the window panel to be flush about the periphery with the vehicle body and remain in such a condition.
  • This flush condition is accomplished with the assistance of a latching system which essentially grasps the vehicle door window panel as it approaches a fully closed position and pulls the window panel inwardly into enhanced engagement with the weatherstrip sealing system along the side pillars and header portion.
  • a pair of spaced apart guide channels as is known in the art are disposed below the belt-line of the door assembly which slidably receives the window sash mounted along the lower edge of the window.
  • the guide channels direct the window assembly along.
  • the window panel itself is slightly concaved such that the exterior surface of the window is maintained substantially flush with the exterior surface of the door assembly.
  • the weatherstrip system of the present invention includes, in addition to a unique weatherstrip system, latching mechanisms which engage latches provided along the top edge of the window panel and pull the panel inwardly toward the window opening.
  • latching mechanisms which engage latches provided along the top edge of the window panel and pull the panel inwardly toward the window opening.
  • a seal sub-assembly is provided which is disposed between the vehicle door mirror and the forward lateral edge of the window panel and extends between the A pillar and belt-line.
  • the weatherstrip assembly includes a support seal which is disposed below the vehicle door belt-line along the B pillar. Typically, this portion of the vehicle door is the most difficult area to effectively seal.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a first sealing sub-assembly about the vehicle door rear view mirror.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a weatherstrip seal portion which effectively seals along the base of the articulating B pillar.
  • an automotive vehicle 10 including a vehicle body structure which defines an opening for receiving a door is provided.
  • the vehicle 10 generally includes A and B pillar portions 14 and 16, respectively, which are separated along the top by a header portion 18.
  • the vehicle door 20 typically includes a moveable slightly convex panel of window glass 22 which is raised and lowered within the window opening and is capable of being closed to a substantially flush position along all sides of the window panel as indicated in Figure 1.
  • FIG. 2 many of the components which are combined to form the overall flush glass window sealing system 12 of the present invention are shown in a blown out side elevational view.
  • the major components of the four-sided flush glass sealing system include a continuous weatherstrip 24 which is mounted along the A and B pillar portions as well as the header portion.
  • the weatherstrip includes a separate and distinct tail portion 26 that interfaces with the molded detail of weatherstrip 24 located along a first end which assists in sealing along the rear view mirror 28 otherwise referred to herein as a sail, as seen in Figure 1.
  • interfaces it is meant that the weatherstrip 24 and tail 26 come into direct contact when the vehicle door is closed, thereby creating an effective seal to prevent air from rushing in at the forwardmost edge of the vehicle door (i.e. at the intersection of the A-pillar, sail and belt-line).
  • a second end 30 of the weatherstrip 24 includes a specific sealing structure which mates with the sealing strip as will be described in greater detail below.
  • This continuous weatherstrip 24 is secured along the A and B pillar portion as well as the header portion of the vehicle door opening by an extending C-shaped channel 34 which is fastened to the vehicle door opening through the use of mechanical fasteners or adhesives.
  • first and second elements 36 and 38 which form part of a weatherstrip sub-assembly for sealing the window panel along the vehicle door rear view mirror or sail and a modified bracket member 40 carried by the inner door panel along the belt-line 32 which maintains the belt weatherstrip 42 upon attachment.
  • Figures 3-8 which more clearly depict the flush glass weatherseal sealing system along various sections of the vehicle door opening and the belt-line of the vehicle door.
  • the flush glass weatherstrip sealing system is disposed along the header portion includes the outer weatherstrip 24 which is maintained along the vehicle door opening by the C-shaped channel 34 which extends continuously along the length of the A pillar and header portions.
  • an inner weatherstrip 44 which is mounted to an extending flange 46 of the vehicle door opening frame.
  • the outer weatherstrip 24 includes a web portion 48 having first and second ribs 50 and 52, respectively, extending oppositely along each end of the web which seat within the C-shaped channel 34 to maintain attachment of the outer weatherstrip.
  • the outer weatherstrip 24 also includes a first compressible sealing bulb 54 extending outwardly away from the web portion 48 and a second sealing bulb 56 extending downwardly from the web portion and integrally connected to the first sealing bulb.
  • first sealing bulb 54 seats against the body side panel 58 to provide a tight seal along the header portion regardless of whether the window panel is in an up or down position within the window opening.
  • the second sealing bulb 56 is preferably provided with first and second substantially transversely extending accurately disposed legs 60 and 62, respectively, the first of which is contacted by the panel of window glass 22 when the panel is maintained in a raised or closed position.
  • extending leg 60 when fully extended provides a means 60A in the form of a reservoir for precluding water from advancing into the window opening.
  • the inner weatherstrip 44 includes a substantially U-shaped rigid metallic core 66 including a web 68 and first and second legs 70 and 72, respectively. Disposed along the inner surface 74 of the U-shaped channel 76 are a plurality of fingers 78 which assist in maintaining the inner weatherstrip over the flange 46. Extending outwardly along each end of the web portion are first and second sealing ribs 80 and 82. Ideally the second leg 62 of bulb portion 56 and the first rib 80 of the inner weatherstrip are positioned such that they could at least partially overlap, thus allowing for additional variation between flange 46 and seal 24. Thus, legs 80 and 62 assist in closing the variable gap created between flanges 46 and 46a along the weatherstrip 44 proximate to the grommet 248 as shown in Figure 2.
  • FIG. 4 a sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Figure 1 illustrating the flush glass weatherstrip sealing system 12 of the present invention mounted along the articulating B pillar portion 16 of vehicle door opening assembly is provided.
  • a third weatherstrip 84 having a substantially U-shaped channel 86 defined by a metallic core 88 which includes first and second legs 90 and 92 separated by a web portion 94 is provided along the B pillar portion.
  • This third weatherstrip 84 includes elastomeric covering 94 disposed over the U-shaped channel portion having an elongated leg 96 which extends from the web portion.
  • the weatherstrip 84 is disposed over a pinchweld flange 98 provided on the B pillar such that the elongated leg 96 separates the second leg 62 of the bulb portion 56 and the first leg 80 of the inner seal portion 44.
  • Weatherstrip 84 thus, assists in closing the gap created between the flange 120 A located along the terminal end of inner panel frame 120 and the panel of window glass 22, since their spacing relationship changes (i.e. becomes more dramatic) approaching the belt-line 32.
  • a fourth weatherstrip 100 having a retaining feature 102 otherwise referred to herein as a stem or rolling key, is provided, wherein the retaining feature extends into a U-shaped channel 104 of the roll formed frame 114 along the B-pillar portion.
  • the weatherstrip 100 also includes a bulb 106 which engages the vertically extending column 108 which anchors the rear quarter window 110 in place.
  • the outer weatherstrip 24, third weatherstrip 84, fourth weatherstrip 100 and C-shaped channel 34B as illustrated in Figure 4 are assembled to the roll formed frame 114 to create the articulating B-pillar assembly.
  • leg 96 of weatherstrip 84 slides over the outer surface of weatherstrip 44 providing additional sealing characteristics and closing off the gap 116 created to necessitate articulation of the B-pillar assembly in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
  • the B-pillar assembly consisting essentially of weatherstrip 24, weatherstrip 84, weatherstrip 100, C-shaped channel 34B and frame 114 must be articulated inwardly toward the center of the vehicle as illustrated by arrow X in Figure 4. This in turn allows the panel of window glass 22 to follow the downward path of the window regulator (not shown) and into the door. By reversing the aforementioned steps, the panel of window glass can be returned to a fully closed position.
  • the B-pillar portion including the panel 22 and column 108 along the rear quarter window become fully sealed which in turn allows for latching of the panel of window glass 22.
  • FIG. 5 a sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Figure 1 illustrating the flush glass weatherstrip sealing system of the present invention mounted along the belt line portion 32 of the vehicle door assembly 20 is provided.
  • the weatherstrip sealing assembly 12 as illustrated along the vehicle door belt line 32 includes a belt weatherstrip 122 which is generally mounted over the outer door panel 124 and a second spaced apart inner weatherstrip seal 126 which is attachable over the outermost leg 130 of the U-shaped spacing bracket 128 which extends from the inner panel 170 of the vehicle door.
  • the belt line weatherstrip 122 includes a metallic core 132 having a plurality of first elongated legs 134 which are punch formed from a second substantially L-shaped leg 136 providing a U-shaped channel 138 therebetween which is mounted over a flange 140 provided on the outer door panel 142.
  • the metallic core is preferably coated with an extruded layer of elastomeric material 144.
  • a similar belt-line weatherstrip 122 structure is illustrated in other United States Patents assigned to The Standard Products Company.
  • a sealing bulb 146 is provided which is disposed at the end of the elongated first leg 148 opposite the U-shaped channel to provide a sealing arrangement between the outer panel 142 and the sash plate 152 when the window is in a closed position.
  • the sealing bulb 146 includes first, second and third sections 146A, 146B and 146C which are cooperatively compressible as the window is raised to a closed position within the window opening.
  • a wiping lip 150 which extends from the sealing bulb is also provided which engages the window panel 22 when the panel is cycled and seats against the sash plate 152 mounted along the bottom edge of the panel of window glass when the panel is in a fully closed position.
  • the inner weatherstrip seal 126 provided along the vehicle door belt line includes a metallic core 156 having an overall S-shape to provide first and second oppositely disposed substantially U-shaped channels 160 and 158, respectively.
  • the first U-shaped channel 160 of the inner seal includes first and second elongated legs 162 and 164 which are separated by a web portion 166 such that the U-shaped channel 160 can be mounted over the outermost leg 130 of the bracket member 128.
  • the second U-shaped channel 158 includes a first leg 164 which is shared with the first U-shaped channel and a second leg 174 separated from the first leg by a web portion 176.
  • the second U-shaped channel 158 is generally shorter in length then the first U-shaped channel of the inner seal.
  • a trim piece 178 which is accessible to the view of the individuals within the passenger compartment of the vehicle includes a downwardly extending leg 180 disposed within the second U-shape channel.
  • An elastomeric coating 182 is also provided over the substantially S-shaped metallic core and includes a bulb portion 184 extending from the shared leg 164 and the outer second leg 174 of the second U-shaped channel 158.
  • a wiping lip 186 which engages the inner surface of the window panel or the window sash depending upon whether the window in an open or closed position.
  • the panel of window glass is adapted to be moved between an open and closed position by any one of a number of window regulating mechanisms as are known in the art.
  • window regulating mechanisms include gear sectors, regulator arms and rollers which are received within guide tracks and secured to the sash plate.
  • the glass panel is moved upwardly and outwardly along a predetermined path as illustrated in Figure 5 by the dot and dashed line designated by reference character P via a regulator mechanism (not shown) contained within the door panel.
  • the sash 152 follows a predetermined path as defined by the regulator tracks (not shown) contained within the door panel.
  • the wiping lip 150 is folded against the bulbs 146A, 146B and bulb 146C is compressed creating a seal between outer panel 142 and sash 152.
  • Bulb 146A which is compressible creates the margin between the door outer panel 142 and point designated by reference character S on the window sash 152 and provides for the desired flush condition along the belt-line. It is at this point, i.e. when the panel of window glass is in the full-up position and sealed along the belt-line, that the B-pillar articulates such that latching of the window is accomplished as previously described.
  • the sealing sub-assembly located proximate to the mirror 28 includes a substantially U-shaped inner trim panel 222 fastened along a first end 224 to the inner panel 226 of the vehicle door.
  • the sealing element 38 is attached to the inner surface thereof such that the protuberance 38A illustrated is Figure 2 extends in the direction of the first end 224 of the trim panel.
  • the sealing element 38 is tapered downwardly from top to bottom as shown in Figure 2 to assist in sealing the window panel as it is raised into a full up and outward position.
  • the guide rim 232 Adhesively attached to the inner surface and lateral edge 230 of the forward portion of the window panel is a guide rim 232.
  • the guide rim 232 includes a plurality of radially extending legs 234, 236, 240 and 242, respectively.
  • the window panel 22 is mounted to the guide rim 232 along a recess 238, a recess 238 formed at the intersection of first and second elongated legs 234 and 236, respectively.
  • the guide rim has a modified cross-shape as shown in Figure 6 wherein the first leg 234 extends in the opposite direction of the third leg 240 and the second leg 236 extends in the opposite direction as the fourth leg 242.
  • Sealing element 36 is typically adhesively attached to the third leg 240 such that the sealing bulb 244 and sealing lip 246 of sealing element 36 engage the mirror plate 248 when the window panel is at least partially closed. Likewise, when the window panel is in a raised position the first sealing element 38 is compressed by leg 242 of the guide rim.
  • the latching mechanism 210 typically includes a partially rotatable hook portion 212 and means 214 for actuating the hook portion to engage and disengage the latch 216 which is permanently attached to the panel of window glass proximate to the header and B pillar portions.
  • the means for actuating the hook portion preferably rotates the hook to both engage the latch and pull the panel of window glass inwardly to more tightly engage the weatherstrip sealing system along the A and B pillar as well as the header portion.
  • the window sealing system of the present invention also includes a modified sealing arrangement along the terminal or second end 30 of the B-pillar portion located at the belt-line.
